It was nearly eight o'clock, and the layout and composition of the small hall was already very rich. The men were well-dressed and elegant, and the women were dignified and elegant. Qi Qingnuo was the only one who could be called slim. It is estimated that the average age of the scene was over forty.

The guests were chatting and laughing without being loud, the string quartet on the stage was clearly audible, and everyone's indifference to the food and drinks allowed the hotel's chefs, waiters, and bartenders to stroll around unhurriedly.

After going through many obstacles, Yang Jingxing finally brought Qi Qingnuo to the cold dining table. From a distance, it looked so dazzling, but when he looked closer, there was nothing that could arouse Qi Qingnuo's interest.

Yang Jingxing quickly threw one into his mouth: "...Well, it's okay." Then he pinched it again.

Qi Qingnuo did not stretch out his plate to take it, but smiled and reminded quietly: "Do you know how many people are looking at you?"

Yang Jingxing is not afraid: "Who asked me to have a girlfriend who attracts attention? If it becomes the center of attention because of this, I will not resist... I enjoy it."

Qi Qingnuo was unhappy: "Steal my lines!"

"Okay, try again." Yang Jingxing glanced around and reminded his girlfriend: "A lot of people are looking at you...I'll block them." He held up the plate to cover the side of Qi Qingnuo's face.

Qi Qingnuo smiled helplessly and became serious again: "I have a pretentious question, although it seems that it is not something that a girlfriend should ask..."

Yang Jingxing looked into his girlfriend's eyes, a little panicked: "...My mother can swim, so can you."

Qi Qingnuo chuckled, lowered his eyes and then raised them again: "When you can ignore anyone here... don't worry, I know it doesn't include me, and don't say you only have eyes for me..."

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You are so vindictive, kill me for my lines."

Qi Qingnuo continued to laugh: "That's it, disdain for some things, and... a beauty like me! A playful smile! Count them two emotions, the one that is closer to the depths of your self?"

Yang Jingxing was a little dizzy after hearing this: "A beauty like you is Nono... Just write down the question. I will research it and answer it as soon as possible."

Qi Qingnuo said: "Forget it, let me ask a simple question, your mother and I..."

"No, no, no, no." Yang Jingxing begged for mercy again and again: "Let me think about it, there is something wrong with your problem. What does it mean to be close to oneself? It's all about oneself."

Qi Qingnuo put it another way: "Which one is more real...more instinctive."

Yang Jingxing: "Of course it's more instinctive to like a beauty like you."

Qi Qingnuo explained: "Like and communication are two different things. I am not as deliberate as you. Sometimes, very rarely, is it a bit fake?"

Yang Jingxing looked at his girlfriend, a little unsure: "You don't like it?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head slowly: "It's not...a tie! You also asked something you shouldn't have asked!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It fully shows that both of us have IQ problems now."

Qi Qingnuo smiled, and the corners of his mouth gradually became more beautiful: "Not only me, they also think you are a bit far behind and a bit contradictory, but I definitely feel much deeper... Maybe women have never had the standard of Prince Charming in their hearts...

It’s just a matter of flattering me.”

Yang Jingxing said: "If you don't like it, I can slowly change it, even if you can't change it into Prince Charming."

Qi Qingnuo squinted: "Okay, your IQ is negative, that's great, you win, okay..."

Yang Jingxing resisted: "I was shocked. I am very smart now... I should have thought of it a long time ago. How could Nuonuo like my vulgar jokes with his IQ and EQ?"

Qi Qingnuo comforted her with a giggle: "You really overestimated me..."

Yang Jingxing continued to feel annoyed: "But I also like to see you smile, but it turns out it's all fake."

Qi Qingnuoha: "Do you really want to change?"

Yang Jingxing looked into Qi Qingnuo's eyes and made a difficult decision: "...it's better not to change. It's better than nothing."

Qi Qingnuo giggled and said, "Don't be so tragic, look at my smile, how sincere it is."

Yang Jingxing looked at it carefully and nodded: "Good-looking and sincere... I don't know whether my IQ is negative or not."

Qi Qingnuo chuckled and asked, "You don't feel a loss, do you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "As long as you are really happy."

Qi Qingnuo chuckled: "You made a lot of money!"

Yang Jingxing smiled and said, "I really want to leave..."

Just as I was talking, the female professor of the vocal music department spoke from the other side of the stage: "Dear guests, dear gentlemen and ladies, good evening everyone..."

The female professor is also in her fifties, but she specializes in medicine. Her voice is beautiful and loud, but she is just a guest speaker to welcome everyone to the speech of Principal Yang Zhixin of Puyin.

Everyone moved a little closer, and the principal came on stage, in a cheerful state of mind: "To show respect for the guests, I will say it in English..."

Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo had to understand the greetings, welcome or respect that the principal said at the beginning, but they didn't expect that the principal was hiding his secrets, and gradually became more and more literary, and even Tagore's poems came out...

…

Qi Qingnuo is more powerful and can even remind her boyfriend in a low voice: "It should be Dai Wangshu's poem, I have some impression..."

The principal has a bit of a speaker's skills. After talking about Birdsong for four or five minutes, he concluded by repeating it in his native language: "... I wish everyone a happy evening."

The applause was quite warm, but fortunately Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing to throw away the plate and fork, otherwise he could only make a clanking sound now.

Because I stood more concentrated, as soon as the applause ended, the social sounds were seamlessly connected, and it was so lively that it almost suppressed the piano performance that followed.

The Japanese shakuhachi actor happened to be nearby and came to say hello to Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo. However, the other party obviously could only speak their native language and could not communicate at all. However, he still understood his gesture of inviting them to join them at the table. Qi Qingnuo gave them face.

The Japanese understood the word "dizi", nodded and repeated it several times, and then murmured something.

Fortunately, Miki Nakai came over quickly and acted as translator. It turned out that Mr. Shakuhachi wanted to consult Qi Qingnuo about the reasons that made so many young people willing to learn ancient musical instruments.

Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing: "Inheritance, how do you say it?"

Yang Jingxing looked up at the sky and saw Tang Qing. Tang Qing was here to introduce famous singers to Yang Jingxing and asked his assistant to be the translator for Qi Qingnuo and the others...

After chatting for a while, Yang Jingxing suggested finding a place to sit and chat, and then sat near Li Yingzhen, who was also accompanied by An Xin and just sat down.

Yang Jingxing first tried to please Li Yingzhen: "There is juice, would you like to drink it?"

Li Yingzhen shook her head.

Yang Jingxing continued: "I asked them to make a cup of honey water."

Li Yingzhen did not give face to the students in public: "There are too many things."

An Xin was positive: "I'll go."

The singer also greeted Li Yingzhen: "Is Professor Li in good health?"

…

Tang Qing was still a big name, and within a few minutes two groups of people came to greet him. They all sat down and chatted, even if they were talking superficially, they still acted elegantly.

Respect is respect, but when Tang Qing used "second to none" to describe Brother Yang, the other people could just nod politely. Even if they had heard about it, Tang Qing himself was only half-joking.

An Xin brought back the honey water very quickly, and the waiter followed closely behind him with a cart, followed by Lu Kaiping and Qin Mengli.

Qin Mengli probably didn't recognize him fully, but he was polite enough: "Hello, hello, Mr. Tang, Professor Li."

Jianghu is really all about status. A junior in his early thirties and a bunch of people in their fifties, sixties or even seventies have to stand up and respond.

Qin Mengli was still a little bent over. He waited for Li Yingzhen to stand up before stretching out his hands: "Professor Li, when I was still in the elementary school attached to the elementary school, I listened to your lectures several times. After all these years, I always remember you."

Li Yingzhen chuckled: "Mr. Qin is too polite."

Tang Qing added in amazement: "You have grown so tall!"

Everyone laughed, Qin Mengli shook hands with Tang Qing again, and Tang Qing introduced him. Qin Mengli blamed himself for not recognizing the famous singer, but the singer laughed it off.

Tang Qing did not miss Yang Jingxing: "My brother Yang, Professor Li's student."

Qin Mengli shook hands with everyone equally: "Hello, how old are you?"

Yang Jingxing replied: "Sophomore year...my classmate An Xin is the same as me."

Qin Mengli shook hands with An Xin again and smiled: "We don't seem to have many peers tonight, we are all teachers and seniors."

When others didn't laugh, An Xin said: "You are also a senior."

Qin Mengli chuckled: "You can do it if you work hard. I believe you will succeed one day."

An Xin thanked her, while Lu Kaiping boasted: "They are all excellent, Yang Jingxing... An Xin has won many awards."

Qin Mengli nodded in approval, and then suddenly realized: "I have an impression of the name... let me think about it... By the way, Yang Jingxing, you are a composer, right?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes."

I didn’t expect that the performer at the top of the tower could care about a young newcomer in the world of composition. It’s really not easy to know how many students or composers around the world are composing piano concertos at the same time. As expected, he really cares about his alma mater in his motherland.

Tang Qinggang raised his eyebrows, but saw Qin Mengli clapped his hands: "I saw your name on the program list, you are also from the Steel Association, so I have the impression... you write your own music, it's awesome!"

Lu Kaiping also explained: "Yang Jingxing is also studying composition, a double major."

"Oh!" Qin Mengli was even more surprised and clapped his hands gently: "Not bad, good, come on."

Tang Qing was a good man. He patted the smiling Yang Jingxing on the shoulder and said to Qin Mengli: "Brother Yang is also a gifted talent, rare."

Qin Mengli continued to nod and smile: "It's amazing. I remember... If I remember correctly, will I be honored to share the stage with you tomorrow night?"

An Xin shook her head: "It's not me, it's my classmate. She was preparing tonight and didn't come."

Lu Kaiping added: "That person's name is Yu Xinting, and they are all students of Professor Li."

"Oh!" Qin Mengli seemed to be even more surprised: "Not bad, not bad... Please sit down, please sit down, Professor Li, Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhou, Dean Lu, you can continue chatting."

The singer glanced up, and the others nodded. An Xin was not very polite either.
